范文答案
This picture shows a group of young people, likely university students or colleagues, gathered around a large wooden table in what appears to be a modern, bright library or study area. They are actively collaborating on a creative project, utilizing several large sheets of paper and various colorful writing instruments spread across the surface.
In the foreground on the left, a woman with her dark hair styled in a neat high bun and secured with yellow hairpins is sitting with her back partially turned towards us. She is wearing a light-coloured long-sleeve shirt, a striking red scarf, and dark trousers with a white snowflake pattern. Her right arm is extended as she holds a colorful marker, preparing to draw or write on the paper. Next to her on the left, a young man is seated wearing a charcoal gray long-sleeved sweater with black headphones resting around his neck.
In the background and midground, three other individuals are participating in the session. Directly across the table sits a woman with long, straight light-brown hair wearing a simple black top, looking attentively toward the group. To her right, elevated on a wooden platform or step, another person in blue jeans and a light gray knit sweater sits relaxed, holding a smartphone. Near the right edge of the table, another hand is seen holding an orange marker. The table itself is cluttered with project supplies, including a bright green cup, multi-colored markers, and personal belongings like a phone and lanyard.
Overall, the scene has a highly energetic and focused atmosphere. The bright natural light filtering through the large windows in the background suggests a productive daytime study session where ideas are being shared freely and creatively.

Understanding Task 3 (Describing a Scene)
在思培(CELPIP)口语第三题中,您将看到一幅细节丰富、色彩鲜艳的插图或照片。您将有30秒的准备时间和60秒的答题时间。本题的目标是尽可能准确、生动地向无法看到图片的听众描述该场景。获得高分(CLB 9分或以上)的关键在于您构建空间叙事的能力,而不是无序地罗列物品。考官主要评估您的空间定位介词、词汇多样性、进行时态的正确运用以及语法控制力。
Maximizing Your 60 Seconds
由于只有60秒的口语表达时间,合理的规划至关重要。在30秒的准备阶段,千万不要尝试写下完整的句子。相反,您应该在脑海中将图片划分为不同的区域:前景、背景、左侧和右侧。首先确定中心活动或主题。例如,在这张图片中,中心主题是一个协作式的小组学习或讨论会。合理安排描述顺序:前10秒用于设定场景整体框架,接下来的20秒描述突出的前景人物,再用20秒描述中景和背景,最后10秒以总结整体氛围作为结尾。
Mastering Spatial Prepositions
为了在听众脑海中画出一幅清晰的地图,必须使用精确的空间方位介词。避免简单地说“这里有一个杯子”。而应当将物体进行相对定位。
- 较弱表达: “桌子上有一个绿色的杯子。杯子旁边有一些笔。”
- 优异表达: “在木质桌子的正中央,紧挨着平铺的大张白纸,放着一个亮绿色的马克杯,旁边散落着几支五颜六色的白板笔。”
常用的定位短语包括:
- “在左下角的区域……” (In the lower left-hand quadrant...)
- “与书桌边缘平行……” (Parallel to the edge of the desk...)
- “正对着穿黑色上衣的女士……” (Directly opposite the woman in the black top...)
- “在背景中,视线稍微模糊的地方……” (In the background, slightly out of focus...)
Avoiding the 'List' Trap: Action + Detail
低分段考生经常陷入“列清单”的陷阱,重复使用“我看到一个男人,我看到一个女人,我看到一个电话”。这限制了您的词汇展现。要获得思培9分及以上的高分,请使用“动作 + 细节”公式:确定人物或物体,描述其外貌或穿着特征,然后用现在进行时详细描述其正在进行的动作。
- 较弱表达: “有一个把头发扎起来的女人在纸上写字。”
- 优异表达: “在前景中,一名女子用黄色发夹将头发扎成高发髻,她正身体前倾,右手臂伸过桌面,手里拿着一支笔,积极参与大张设计图纸的讨论与绘制。”
Transitions for Moving Through a Scene
流畅的过渡可以防止您的表达听起来像机器人一样生硬。不要反复使用“Next ... Next ...”,而应使用高级过渡词来引导听众的视线:
- “将我们的目光转向右上角……” (Shifting our gaze to the upper right corner...)
- “紧挨着前景中的主要人群……” (Just behind the main group in the foreground...)
- “与这一活动平行的是……” (Parallel to this activity...)
- “深入到背景中看……” (Looking deeper into the background...)
- “在中心人物稍微靠左的位置……” (Slightly to the left of the central figure...)
Vocabulary Expansion for Visual Imagery
为了获得高分,请用高级词汇代替基础词汇:
- 代替 table: “communal wooden table”(公共木桌)、“collaborative workspace”(协作工作空间)。
- 代替 clothes: “attire”(服装)、“garments”(衣物)、“casual apparel”(休闲服饰)。
- 代替 sitting: “perched”(栖息/坐落)、“seated”(坐着)、“positioned”(位于)。
- 代替 happy/focused: “deeply engaged”(深度参与)、“engrossed in conversation”(专心交谈)、“industrious atmosphere”(勤奋活跃的氛围)。
例句:
- “参与者们穿着休闲、舒适的服饰,非常适合大学校园的环境。”
- “房间里洒满了柔和的自然光,营造出一种温馨且富有成效的讨论氛围。”
Fluency, Pacing, and Handling Unknown Words
如果您在照片中遇到不认识的物体,千万不要停顿或惊慌。使用“迂回表述”(circumlocution),即用其他词汇来描述它。例如,如果您忘记了“lanyard”(挂绳)这个词,您可以说“a colorful neck strap typically used for holding identification cards”(通常用于佩戴身份证件的彩色脖挂绳)。保持稳定、适中的语速。保持自然节奏的连续表达,远远好于因频繁自我纠错而导致语流中断。
Common Task 3 Mistakes to Avoid
- 错误 1:使用一般过去时。 请务必使用现在进行时(“is writing”, “are discussing”)来描述正在发生的动作。
- 错误 2:过度推测背景故事。 不要编造复杂的虚假背景,只需专注于视觉上真实可见的内容。
- 错误 3:纠结于微小细节。 不要花40秒去描述裤子上的花纹。保持视线的移动。
- 较弱表达: “She wore a pink shirt and she sat down.”
- 优异表达: “She is wearing a pastel pink shirt and is currently seated on the left side of the bench.”
